Chemo is far from the only option in my opinion. Lymph nodes which are enlarged often are that way due to doing their job of trapping toxins/infection. Rather than get rid of body parts wich are there for a reason, I might opt to try to get rid of the cancer while saving the body parts. Many items to consider would be a good blood tonic such as Jon Barron's Blood Support tonic, good overall cleansers/cancer-fighters such as Essiac Tea, cancer fighters/immune boosters such as oleander extract, curcumin, blackseed oil (Nigella sativa), colloidal silver and much more. You will find much good information here in this forum, including my own suggested comprehensive anti-cancer protocol (though don't take anything as gospel without doing additional research on your own).
Should you opt for chemo, consider oleander extract very strongly. Besides being a supreme cancer-fighter and immune booster it also helps potentiate chemo (meaning you need less chemo) as well as offsets the side effects of chemo.
